LBD Caregiver Link

LBD families and caregivers can connect directly on a regional basis, through the LBD Caregiver Link, featuring “Lewy Buddies.” “Lewy Buddies" are experienced LBD caregivers who share their time and experience with LBD families by:

Listening compassionately and confidentially to the challenges of LBD families and sharing their own personal experience with LBD

Offering emotional support

Referring families to additional LBDA programs and services as appropriate for their needs

While Lewy Buddies are not able to provide medical advice and are not medical professionals, they are typically well informed about LBD through their personal experiences and volunteer training with LBDA. They may also be able to help identify information and community resources concerning the diagnosis and care of a person with Lewy body Dementia.

When calling or emailing the LBD Caregiver Link, you will be connected with an experienced caregiver who can provide information on LBD and who can also share their personal experience and compassion. While volunteers are not able to offer medical advice and are not medical professionals, they can help identify information and resources which will answer many of your questions.
